Karnig Ohannessian, a deputy assistant secretary of the Navy, pulled the gun on partygoers in Fairfax, Virginia, last month, claiming the young men were drunk and causing a ruckus in front of his house.

“I can shoot the f*** out of you guys right now,” he’s heard saying in the video.

Ohannessian is a high-ranking official at the Pentagon, and has received two prestigious civilian service awards.

“You're pointing a gun at my friend,” one person is heard saying in a video.

Now Ohannessian's superiors at the Navy are looking into the incident, saying in a statement, “Mr. Ohannessian's supervisor is taking the appropriate action to include working to understand the full details of what occurred.”
